Recent appearances

• Public Procurement (British Goods and Services) Bill 15 Mar 2024

  Smaller companies are often put off because the cost of tendering for such contracts is so high that failing to win the contract could have a really detrimental impact on the business as a whole.

• Animal Welfare (Import of Dogs, Cats and Ferrets) Bill 15 Mar 2024

  My hon. Friend is making a very powerful case. If someone smuggling drugs or arms is caught, the penalties are severe. For smuggling kittens or puppies, the penalties are virtually non-existent, let alone the enforcement.

• Leasehold and Freehold Reform Bill: New Clause 26 - LTA 1985: Crown application 27 Feb 2024

  I thank the Minister for giving way again. One problem is that many of these companies encouraged buyers to use their lawyers, who did not point out some of the pitfalls of leasehold properties.
